You will need to check your PTO shaft, slip clutch. Disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor with the tiller off the ground, spin the shaft by hand. The tines should turn, it may be a bit difficult but give it a try. >> IF
To check your clutch and adjust. (clutch is under the large shield on the tractor PTO end)
1) loosen torque spring bolts and allow slip clutch to slip for approximately
two (2) revolutions. Loosen the bolts until the springs lose contact with the flange
yoke. This ensures that the slip clutch is not in a "locked" position.
7). Make sure that the clutch slips.
8). To retighten the slip clutch, tighten the torque spring bolts until the nut makes contact
with the flange yoke and further tighten one and a half turns (1-1/2). This is a good
starting point , further adjustments may need to be made based on soil conditions.
NOTE: Do not over or under tighten slip clutch assembly or damage may occur.
No mention of the gears in my post to you. Your slip clutch may need adjusting.No mention of the gears in my post to you. Your slip clutch may need adjusting.
The only other part in this puzzle that could be bad, would be the right angle box on top of the tiller. If your slip clutch is adjusted ok. the shaft is turning all the way to the connection on top of the tiller. Nothing turning after that, the right angle box has > 1) worn of the teeth off one of the internal gears (it is built like a rear axle of a car, ring and pinion gears) or >2) Seared a shaft key internal, letting the shaft turn but not the gear. Again raise the tiller off the ground, remove the shaft from the tiller end and turn the tiller tines by hand, everything should turn up to and through the r/ box on top, as you turn the tines hold the shaft of the r/box with a good set of pliers, you may be able to feel a free movement then a slight take, then free movement.. That will mean you have worn gear teeth.The only other part in this puzzle that could be bad, would be the right angle box on top of the tiller.

First check the gear to make sure that there is no brakingparts or bolts stuck in the gear. Now slide the top gear (toothed inside and out) back on theshaft replace the snap ring. You may need to add some gear oil also. Hope this will help you. Good Luck.
